As per news report of NDTV, as she appeared before the judge of the special court - set up on the directions of the Allahabad High Court - the student refused to accept any of the allegations that she had made earlier. After she turned hostile, the prosecution made an appeal to file a case under Section 340 of CrPc (false claim and false prosecution in a case) against the student. The law student - enrolled in one of Chinmayanand's educational institutions at Uttar Pradesh's Shahjahanpur - had accused him of sexually exploiting her for over a year.
